Lay me down in thorns and roses

Cover me with dirt

Tired eyes despise their blindness,

Bitterness and hurt

With your arms around me

This pain I feel is numb

But beneath my skin the walls close in

To bury me unhallowed, and alone

Can it be that time has bound us

To sink or merely float

Forever down the dead end stream

Of life to which we’re born

But when your voice surrounds me

Never do I feel lost

Now silence calls from every wall

To deafen every hope

With your arms around me

The fear in me is calmed

And when I see your visage

I know nothing can be wrong

Now in this endless darkness

My memories distort

And the shadows rise in a thick black tide

To bury me unhallowed and alone
